If you eat on the go, then just stop at grocery stores or healthier places. It only takes a minute to run into a grocery store and buy an apple. You're not going to save any time sitting in line at a fast food joint.

If you stop at fast food joints. Stop at deli's and such, get sandwiches or healthier foods. The same applies for ANY restaurant. Just eat healthier, get the low-carb/low-fat stuff. Think salads and soups more. And most if not all restaurants these days have low-fat type sections on their menus. A side salad and cup of soup at Chilis is like $5 and extremely healthy. Or their black bean veggie burger is to die for, it's like black bean soup in hamburger form. But even a regular hamburger is fine to eat - just eat half the meal and certainly don't get fried foods as the side. Panera has vegan & lowfat meals, a bowl of soup and an apple instead of bread = really filling meal & like $4-5.

It really comes down to eating often, drinking lots of water, and eating smaller portions.

Then all you have to do is start picking the healthier options off menus. You can still go to pretty much all the same places, but think healthier. You want taco bell? You don't need the $7 meal that comes with a large soda (very bad), nachos, two tacos, and a burrito. That's insane. Get one taco, and one small burrito, and two glasses of water. That's cutting down calories by like 75%, and price by almost 75%. Then, like 2-3 hours later eat a banana or apple and two glasses of water.

Eat often, Eat smaller portions, Eat healthier, & Drink lots of water.
